    I think it’d be a shit way to get rid of bodies unless maybe if it was just bones. Fat and soft tissue would probably need a strong base like sodium hydroxide to break down - which is why it’s used for making soap

      Nitric acid would be better. But apparently sulfuric acid and highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide works well. Look up piranha solution.

      But on an island, I would think a large barrel, concrete, and some very deep water would be sufficient.

        If there was a massive order for hydrogen peroxide I’d believe piranha solution was used for these purposes

        i was going to say, just get some aqua regia. unfortunately i fat fingered my google and accidentally searched for acid that dissolves god and i don’t think lysergic acid is great for cleaning up evidence
